  • Halal Ecosystem: Prospect for Growth in Bangladesh
    International Journal of Business and Society, Vol. 18 S1, 2017, 205-222 HALAL ECOSYSTEM: PROSPECT FOR GROWTH IN BANGLADESH Nabila Nisha. North South University Mehree Iqbal North South University ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to draw special attention to Bangladesh as one of the potential markets where the concept of Halal ecosystem can be developed. An overview of this dynamic concept, followed by the current stance, challenges and future outlook of Bangladesh regarding Halal ecosystem is thereby described. This study applies content analysis to identify general trends and research results of Halal ecosystem in a descriptive form. Using secondary sources, it also provides future directions for both Bangladesh and the global context. Government support and regulatory frameworks are crucial at this stage to strengthen confidence amongst consumers, industry players and investors regarding Halal ecosystem in Bangladesh. Moreover, regional and global arrangements for Halal certifications are necessary to fully embrace this concept in Bangladesh and beyond. However, lack of empirical data and research on Halal ecosystem limits the intensity of arguments in this study. Besides, absence of proper information regarding Halal certifications, database of companies involved in this dynamic process and initiatives of government and regulatory bodies in Bangladesh further hinder the presentation of a wholesome picture of Halal ecosystem. Keywords: Halal Ecosystem; Islamic Finance; Halal Industry; Islamic Economy; Muslim Consumers; Bangladesh. 1. INTRODUCTION In today’s increasingly globalized world, the Islamic economy has been continuously evolving and requiring companies to provide products and services that meet their faith- based needs. The core two sectors that are structurally affected by this requirement of Muslim consumers are the Halal industry, which mainly comprises of food, lifestyle and travel, and the Islamic finance industry (Thomas and Selimovic, 2015).

Ahsan2 1Department of Chemistry, Jagannath University, Dhaka 1100, Bangladesh. 2Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR), Dhaka, Bangladesh. Accepted 23 April, 2012 The purpose of this study was to assess the degree of pollution of Turag river water by determining various physico-chemical parameters. Water samples were collected six times per year during wet and dry season at the following three locations: Tongi Railway Bridge, Bishwa Ijtema field and Ashulia. Most of the measured physicochemical parameters exceeded permissible limit of drinking water. The recorded pH ranged from 6.6 to 7.98 and Electrical Conductivity (EC) from 160 to 1107 µs/cm. The recorded dissolve oxygen (DO) varied from 0.11 to 6.8 mg/L and biological oxygen demand (BOD) ranged from 10 to 180 mg/L while chemical oxygen demand ranged from 21 to 220 mg/L and free CO2 value from 5 to 22 mg/L. The concentration ranges of heavy metals and arsenic in ppb were as follows: Zinc (Zn) (0.04 to 0.4), cadmium (Cd) (0.043 to 2), arsenic (As) (1.15 to 4.8), (lead) Pb (2.29 to 18.62) and mercury (Hg) (0.12 to 1.45).

  • Bangla Masdjid': Islão E Bengalidade Entre Os Bangladeshianos Em Lisboa
    José Mapril* Análise Social, vol. XXXIX (173), 2005, 851-873 «Bangla masdjid»: Islão e bengalidade entre os bangladeshianos em Lisboa** Nos últimos anos, as pesquisas sobre as populações muçulmanas no Oci- dente têm incidido sobre o desenvolvimento de perspectivas universalistas e ortodoxas do Islão que fazem dele um elemento de agregação entre pessoas independentemente das suas particularidades. Pretende-se afirmar que a expe- riência migratória coloca em contacto diversas populações muçulmanas, favo- recendo a emergência de ideologias universalistas e puristas do Islão que aparecem expressas em noções como a ummah, a comunidade islâmica transnacional (v. Gardner, 1995, Mandaville, 2001, Roy, 2003, e Kepel, 2003). Segundo estas concepções, afirma-se que outras formas de pertença, como a etnicidade, tendem a desaparecer, ou pelo menos a submergir, sob o efeito universalizante desta ideologia transnacional. No entanto, esta perspectiva deve ser um pouco matizada, uma vez que existem casos onde as fronteiras entre o Islão e outras formas de pertença não são tão claramente traçadas. Exemplo disto é o caso dos imigrantes do Bangladesh em Portugal, entre os quais a conjugação de uma identidade muçulmana e bengali aparece expressa na criação de um espaço de culto localizado na zona onde residem e trabalham em Lisboa. O que procurarei demonstrar ao longo deste artigo é exactamente que o bengali, enquanto sentido de pertença etno-linguística, não tem vindo a ser substituído pelo * Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa. ** Este artigo resulta de uma investigação em curso no âmbito da minha pesquisa de doutoramento em realização no Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa com o apoio da Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia.

Islam is quite predominant in its political, social and cultural landscapes. While most classical and the contemporary sociologists predicted that religion would gradually fade in importance and cease to be significant with the advent of the industrial society, Bangladesh has witnessed a powerful reemergence of the religious forces in its society. In the recent years, the country has drawn enormous attention from the scholars and experts both locally and globally particularly with regard to its Islamic revivalism.

  • 'Purification of Self': Ijtema As a New Islamic Pilgrimage
    -3 (SI), 2010 European Journal of Economic and Political Studies ‘Purification of self’: Ijtema as a New Islamic Pilgrimage Bulbul Siddiqi1 Abstract: Tablighi Jamaat is one of the influential and widespread Islamic movements among the Muslims around the world, which is originated in northern part of India in 1920s by Moulana Muhammad Ilyas Kandhalawi (1885–1944). It has spread to some 165 countries, including Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, its annual three-day mass congregation, commonly known as ijtema near Dhaka attracts more than five million people. Ijtema is an essential part of the Tablighi Jamaat around the world. Ijtema plays a significant role on the lives of many Muslims in Bangladesh. The huge number of engaging people in ijtema shows its popularity. Many countries also celebrate this event in a similar way. The current paper argues that ijtema provides a new idea of pilgrimage among the Muslims in Bangladesh. This paper also shows that participation in ijtema increases religious authority, status and empowerment. Finally, it examines how does ijtema contributes on the Muslim identity through the idea of brotherhood and ummah. Keywords: Tablighi Jamaat, Ijtema, Bangladesh, Ummah, Dawah, Chilla, Empowerment, Authority, Pilgrimage. 1 Cardiff University, Great Britain. [email protected] 133 Bulbul Siddiqi Introduction ijtema2 is the annual three days congregation of Tablighi Jamaat3. TJ is an Islamic reform movement that is influential and widespread among the Muslims around the world. It has a strong appeal to the South Asian Muslims and its diaspora. The immediate concern of Tablighi Jamaat is the moral reform of individuals and purification of the self, often described, as ‘making Muslims true Muslims’ and Muslims should go back to the basic principles of their faith to follow strictly the commandments of Islam in their personal lives and in their dealings with others (Sikand, 2002 and 2006).
